Just been watchin' most of 'em again.
My take:
You want cool nonsense? Monster Zero.
You want laffable James Bond intrigue, shootouts & cool monster fights & destruction (and best soundtrack)? Destroy All Monsters.
You want a cool 70's vibe & a great toe to toe final slugfest? Godzilla vs the Smog Monster.
You want to see the big G at his most destructive & evil? Godzilla, Mothra & King Gidorah: All Out Monsters Attack!(wow, what a long & ridiculous title..)
You want Matrix-style human/alien fights amidst awesome monster madness? Godzilla: Final Wars.

And there you have my list.
My fave is still G vs the Smog Monster (Hedorah) for its crazy take on the whole genre.

I was never a big Godzilla fan. I prefered watching the "The Mysterians" in TohoScope.

Subs or Dubs? I always love hearing the Japanese.
Smog and Destroy are my favs.
Must try and do a Godzilla Marathon one day.

Dubs always!!! The bad lip-synch & inappropriate pauses in dialogue is an essential part of the experience for me!

Actually I've just looked up a few Godzilla films and I remember seeing King Kong vs Godzilla aswell. I can see this Marathon will need some serious planning.

My problem with this one is that King Kong is around 50 - 60 feet tall, and Godzilla comes in at around 175. I could never buy the confrontation for that reason.

Could that be from head to tail? Maybe Godzilla has a really long tail...? Maybe?

I've always been a Rodan fan myself. Also liked Gidrah, The Three-Headed Monster.

Haven't seen that movie Chris. Guess I'm just not a big monster genre fan, although I always had a feelin' that bad-monster Gidrah was a bit of a wuss.

I really disliked this one. Mainly because the G lizard takes one in the L column. Nonsense! I put this on par w/ Spinosaurus taking down T.Rex in JPIII. Would NEVER happen. Sorry, just not buying it.

But also, the big ape gets stronger w/ electricity ? WTH ? Where is THAT written in nature ? I mean, if there was some electric eel hybrid monstrosity, sure... but a giant primate ? C'mon... that's just being silly.

What might have made more sense is if Kong got his super, power up strength from eating some native berry or some such. Kinda like a Scooby Snack ™, but for 50 ft primates. That way, they could have played up the fact that he was a vegetarian, and promoted healthy eating.

But no, he grabs a live electrical wire instead.




On second thought, eating something might be too reminiscent of Popeye eating a can-o-spinach.

How funny would THAT be ?

( ok, just me laughing.... oh well )

Well I'm putting it down to bad subtitles and the explanation has been lost in translation.... Yeah.
